Google’s Android app icons to adopt flatter design?

Prior to release, iOS 7 caused a fair bit of controversy with its “flat” design, with icons largely doing away with fancy things like lighting and shading in favour of, y’know, just being dead plain and that.

There are suggestions that Google’s Android apps are about to go the same way, adopting what’s referred to internally as Google’s “Moonshine” approach.

We’re looking at Android Police, which credits “a source familiar with the designs”, and while the Policemen themselves were initially cautious, a further hunk of evidence gives credence to the original story.
